Marvel Comics Presents #1 – Years ago, Marvel Comics Presents was book containing three or four stories, often featuring new or underused characters. It started with a bang, then ran a little hot and cold through the years, with one of the ultra-highlight stories coming out of this book being Barry Windsor-Smith’s Weapon X storyline. Incredible stuff! Then the book went away. Now it’s back, and it looks good!! Give this one a look-see, folks!

Penance: Relentless #1 (of 5) – For the longest time, Speedball, a founding member of the New Warriors, was like a poor man’s Spider-Man; he bounced around everywhere, knocking out bad guys and cracking jokes. He was a fun, goofy, character and a great addition to the team. Then Stamford happened. And Civil War. He survived, somehow. His powers morphed in the explosion that should have killed him, and now they only work when he’s in pain. He’s also become a much darker, potentially completely insane character and is now a member of the Thunderbolts. Paul Jenkins is writing, so this will likely be awesome. Read it!

Tales of Sinestro Corps: Parallax #1 - Ion is the chosen one of the Green Lantern Corps, whose coming was foretold as a prophecy in the Book of Oa. But now that Kyle Rayner has been possessed by Parallax, can he ever bear the mantle of Ion again? Or will it pass to a completely new bearer? This all-important Sinestro Corps War tie-in reveals the answers, and sets the stage for Green Lantern - and Kyle Rayner - for years to come!

World War Hulk #4 (of 5) – The Gamma Bomb against the power of a million exploding suns – who wins, the Hulk or the Sentry? My money’s on the Hulk. I think it’s going to take a Thunder God to stop this Hulk.
